White Christmas

The snow flurries of Christmas Eve failed to disappear overnight thanks to temperatures well below freezing. According to a Facebook post by an old acquaintance, it was colder in Pleasant Suburb than it was in Canada. Shelley in Poland reported rain in Gdansk while noting the freak snow in her home state. How very odd, and how utterly delightful, to creep from our beds to peer out the window at a field of scarcely broken white. Unbroken until we marched out into it for a Christmas morning snowball fight. A good hour later, we returned to the house where a breakfast casserole and fresh biscuits awaited. Slipping back into our jammies, we each checked our stockings. Thanks to the snow outside, we have seen the first time ever in this household that stockings went unchecked on Christmas morning. Of course, it's also the first White Christmas in mine and the mister's married life--- and the first one in Pleasant Suburb since the 1920's.

Oh, The Places I Go:

About Me

Life is a slippery slope... one little "I do" has become three kids, two dogs, and a cat. (Suddenly I'm having a "How did I get here?" moment.) I love to cook, sleep, take photos, read, watch movies, and hang out with friends and family. I love my husband, the Lord, a good laugh, British history, pie, having all the laundry done, and the sometimes questionable opinions of my children.
